How to adjust the fingerprint sensor LED lights on the BlackBerry KEYone

Ever wonder if you can lower the brightness or disable the LED lights on the KEYone fingerprint sensor?

Out of the box, every BlackBerry KEYone has a set of LED lights enabled on the fingerprint sensor. It's cool that they're there as it helps you find the fingerprint sensor at times and acts as security indicator by letting you know when apps are interacting with the fingerprint sensor but it's far from a crucial addition to the KEYone. Have you ever wanted to disable them? I'm sure a few of you have and with the latest KEYone update rolling out you can!

How to adjust the fingerprint sensor LED lights on the BlackBerry KEYone

Swipe down from the top of the screen to reveal the notification shade.

Tap the Settings icon in the upper right corner.

Scroll and find Security.

Select Fingerprint.

Use the Optimize fingerprint LED slider

From there, you can adjust the setting as you see fit. You can turn the brightness all the way up, have it barely on, or just disable it entirely. It's a small feature that was never there until the latest update and one of those things you might miss without it being specifically pointed out to you. Now, go forth with new knowledge, master of LED lights!

I lost my hardware function (fingerprint sensor) a day or 2 ago, trying methods to troubleshoot, running battery down has been an all day process, meanwhile I have created back up of device and files for the last resort of software restore. Hopefully it will be an easy fix, I would hate to have a 3rd device malfunction, its barely a week old this one.

is there a way to make the whole keyboard brighter ? I have 2 KEYᴼᴺᴱ's and one is way bright but the other you can barely tell that it's lit up at all. I bought 2 when they first come out, each one of them are adjusted the same way and one is great and the other sucks!! The screen is even way brighter on one then it is the other. I'm driving so I'm using google voice text hope all this make sense

I think this is one of the coolest features of the KEYone.. A nice touch. I hope the KEYtwo thinks about such ideas so that this iconic device shows users how much it thinks of issues like this. One complaint I have is that the lighting of the Android buttons is tied to the keyboard and not the screen. It means I have to swipe the keyboard at night just to see them. Can I change that?
